It is something that I don't get. In the asoundrc example file, I can read "They have been split into top row and bottom row with channels 0-7+16-25 on rme9652_0 and channels 8-15+26-27 on rme9652_1." But it is no channel numbered 26 or 27 into this asoudrc.

If I understand well the code into the file, both sound cards are using the same stereo channels 24 and 25. And we have 27 bindings for 25 channels.

== Samplerate limit in the asoundrc ==

+

+

rate parameter in asoundrc is setting the samplerate of the Alsa Device. But, what im looking for is the possibility to limt the samplerate in a range of min to max.

+

+

== Possible errors in Plugin section ==

Hey everyone,

+

since I just heard of .asoundrc yesterday I would not call myself an expert and edit the wiki.

+

Due to this lack of knowledge I just want to point you experts to some (in my view) inconsistencies in the [http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc#Plugins Plugins section]:

+

+

First, I think the fourth listing is missing something. In the second listing the slave device sl2 has pcm "hw:1,0" and is slave of rate_convert. However, the fourth listing does not state pcm "hw:1,0" in the slave definition. Such an example can be found in the [http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html ALSA plugin documentation].

+

+

Second, the rate for the slave is set to 48000 in the listings. Opposing to that the text says it converts the samples to 44.1 kHz.

+

+

Third, the last listing says:

+

"make this address of.the second channel on my real soundcard.be the second pcm device on my new soundcard"

+

In my opinion the it should be "the second pcm device on my REAL soundcard". Of course, the same holds for the second last listing.

+

+

If I'm completely wrong on any of those things, please inform me and don't just delete my (possibly erroneous) correction suggestions.

+

Thanks :)

Hi, thanks for this useful article.
It is something that I don't get. In the asoundrc example file, I can read "They have been split into top row and bottom row with channels 0-7+16-25 on rme9652_0 and channels 8-15+26-27 on rme9652_1." But it is no channel numbered 26 or 27 into this asoudrc.
